I wouldn’t mind seeing Lemmy grow further, but I hope it never reaches the levels of current day Reddit.

You might be part otter. They can close their noses from within when diving.

Eh. It’s worth it.

About a third to a quarter of Americans are fine with this and stand to profit from it (or they think they do). The rest, while the majority, has no political power to affect meaningful change.

I wish I got dopamine off postponed tasks :p

The game gear had two major issues:

-It was too far ahead of its time (something SEGA unfortunately did multiple times, cfr Dreamcast’s online gaming capabilities)

-Battery life sucked major donkey cock

It was also somewhat pricey, but the former point was paramount.

Been going through games that have been on my backlog for, in some cases, a decade. Recently finished Shadow of Mordor & Shadow of War. Currently playing Dying Light. My pc at the time could never handle it, Techland’s games are usually a bit ahead of their time graphically.

I don’t.

I just recently lost my IT job of 10 years. Things are looking extremely grim.

So escapism in the form of weed & late night gaming after the family has gone to sleep.

That’s just your email address being sold by information brokers. Not illegal, not a reason to change your email address. Block, delete & move on.

Confirmed: brain is cat.

Lol there were definitely rando mc raids at the beginning. They weren’t very successful mind you, but people did get some purples from trash which were insanely better than any other gear at that point. Eventually they got enough people geared and trained to do the first few bosses. Reaching Raggy was, at that point, only possible for dedicated raid guilds.

I was lucky enough to play WoW when it first released. Nothing will ever come close to the experience of Vanilla & the first two expansions. There were no aggregate sites with all the info/strats/drops/… it was pure discovery.

I remember doing Onyxia for the first time with randoms and getting our asses whooped like you wouldn’t believe. Then someone told me that Molten Core would soon be released and contain TEN of these bosses back-to-back. While we could scarcely fathom bringing one down.

Suffice to say, our first foray into MC (again with randoms) was… painful. Got our asses whooped again, this time by the trash mobs there.

Ahh, memories…

These kinds of breaches are at the site level. Not much you can do as a regular user if the company doesn’t hash or salt their passwords, for example.

I’ve only really been in one breach. This one is actually a breach of a “security firm” (incompetent idiots) who aggregated login data from the dark web themselves, essentially doing the blackhats’ work for them.

This is also EXACTLY why requiring online interactions to be verified with government ID is a terrible idea. Hackers will similarly be able to gain all possible wanted data in a single location. It’s simply too tempting of a target not to shoot for.

Yes and no; they have their own issues:

At this point if you’re still actively using X I’m going to just have to assume you’re a nazi too, or at least tolerant of them.

Eventually, even deadlines and consequences stop being enough and you lose your job/family/home. True story.

I only found out when getting my own son diagnosed and realizing I ticked every single one of his boxes as well. Explained a lot about my youth. And yeah, feeling like you’re some sort of alien who will never belong is unfortunately part of it.

Doesn’t matter, they’ll get blocked like all the rest.

It’s Christian fanfic. There is surprisingly little about Hell in actual scripture, definitely not the “hell” we’ve come to expect from modern media. Most depictions of hell originate from Dante’s Inferno, not from the bible.
